I Give

I'm feeling like I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders today. We never actually made it to the zoo on Saturday. I had a trunk stuffed full of bags of clothes for the Salvation Army drop off and we needed gas, so I left early to take care of those things with the baby while Mr. JuJu and LittleJuJu showered. I never made it to the S.A.  because as I was about to pull out of the gas station, my gear shift just kinda...went limp. I put it into "drive" and instead of locking in, it fell right down to the "L". I'm like, what in the hell? After trying unsucessfully for ten minutes to get out of park, I asked a guy pumping gas next to me if he would take a look and he pretty much told me to call a tow truck cause I was fucked. Left my phone at home...90 degrees, crabby baby...BAD DAY. Eventually Mr. JuJU came to rescue me and take over while I took the kids home in his rental car (he had a trip to Detroit the next day) and the car is still in the shop and I haven't heard from them yet.

Not long ago my closet fell down. The rod fell down actually, and I think I took pictures here of all of my clothes laying sadly on the floor and whatever, we fixed that and all was well. Yesterday the same exact thing happened in LittleJuJu's closet so I spent all morning Emptying his closet of clothes and toys and blankets so that Mr. JuJu could fix that tonight. I heard a crash while I was in the middle of that and looked all over the house for what the cause of the noise might have been and found nothing. Forgot about it.

Later I went into Mr. JuJu's closet to put laundry away and wouldn't you just fucking know that HIS FELL DOWN TOO. Can I get a freaking break here? It's like one thing right after another after another keeps going wrong and I am seriously on the edge of my seat waiting for the next to happen. I have a prenatal (6 month!) check-up on Thursday and I am almost afraid to go. Someone send me some happy lottery winning good vibes...PLEASE.

Ok...I'm done. Rant over.

oh and I almost forgot...the baby ate cat food today and I caught her putting a dead fly in her mouth. Can you believe the universe is trusting me with another child?

Ahh a little cat food never hurt anyone. When I was little both my little sister and my nephew ate dog food. Being the good big sister/auntie that I am I didn't stop either one of them. :)

Since bad things happen in 3s I think you are done for now.

Criminy, Ju! That's it, you're moving here. I promise to take care of your closets and you can spend all of your time monitoring what goes into (and what doesn't) the babe's mouths. Dammit, I hate that we live so far away. As for coping, I highly recommend sitting in the middle of the floor sobbing uncontrollably for about 10 minutes per day. After the children get over the trauma of it, you'll look forward to your daily detox...

Cat food has got to be filled with some vitamins :) Sorry about your car. My tire blew out last week on the freeway with 4 children in the car if that makes you fell any better:)

Take a deep breath..... Ive had days like that, weeks even. I hope you are feeling better today. What a nice invitation from your mom. Man, I wish mine would say that....

I'm thinking that you might want to send a complaint letter to the company that made your wardrobe bars...

Sorry about your bad day. Have a good cry and eat some chocolate...

Sometimes, when it rains it pours...but that's enough, now!! Say, if you really need a car, I know where you can borrow a Honda for cheap...

heh. Ok..remember when I was all whining about my stupid job? I take it back. You totally win.
Also? Noah ate SO MUCH friggin dog food in his first 2 years of life. HE WOULD NOT STOP! The minute the dog would start eating and he's be right in here chomping down some kibble before I could stick my finger in there to haul it out. Dead fly? meh...protein ...but you know...EW!
